Having an argument with a Newcastle fan who thinks it's better to be runner up in CL and 5th in PL over 2nd in the PL, is he crazy or am I?

He is. 5th is only worth it if we win CL. CL runner up and 5th wouldn't do us any good.

To be honest, I haven’t a clue, but just agree with him and keep him sweet. He’ll only go and punch a horse if you rile him.

Honestly couldn't think if many things more heartbreaking in football than to see spurs reach a CL final only to go and lose it. I'd say 2nd in PL Is the better option

Nothing says Spursy* like missing out on CL qualification on two fronts by one place.





*And I fucking hate it when people use this word.

He’s crazy. He should be more worried about the other end of the table. And he’s overweight and needs to put a top on. And you’re crazy because you’re a Spurs fan and prolonged exposure to Spurs isn’t good for your mental health. Hope this helps.

He is wrong.
The Champions league is more than a bit meh at times and really exists to extend the advantage of the elite sides.

Finishing as high as possible up the domestic league is more important.

2nd in the PL because it gives us a chance to be in CL again next season, which I still think is essential if we want to keep our best players. Ultimately finishing runner up in the CL gets you nothing.

I wouldn't want us to lose in the CL final but I would take getting to the final over 2nd place.

Heartbreak of losing the final.
Then waking up the next morning and remembering it’ll be Thursday nights in Oyster Sands next season.

2nd in the PL for me.

Are you high? 2nd place gives us CL next season. 5th place in PL and losing in the CL final would see us in Europa next season which would be an abject failure kf a season. Give me 2nd everyday of the week and twice on sunday.

Did you read what you quoted? I said I wouldn't want us to lose in the final. So I'm talking about getting to the final then having a 50/50 chance of winning the match over 2nd place.

Think the league is always more important then Europe. I always feel it's harder to win the league just become of the huge amount of matches.

I think a better question would be league title or CL title

That's right. Getting to the final means we have a chance of winning the cup and qualifying for next year's competition.

Like I said it's 50/50, if we could win the boost for the club and the area would be amazing.
